Okay I had a hysterectomy this past may. I kept my ovaries. I would post this in the hysterectomy community but like no one ever goes there. But anyways. If I didnt know better I would think that I was pregnant. I have been nausous and getting dizzy. I have been taking my meds every day at the same time so I know its not them. Could my ovaries being going all wacky again? It took them about two months to turn back on. Thanks for any help.

Hey Moon....I had a hysterectmy when I was 29 due to a benign mass. I had my ovaries removed too. It was wierd because there were times I had cramps and could have sowrn my period was about to start. They told me it was phantom pain....just like when someone loses a limb and they can still feel it. Check with your Dr. on this and see what he/she says. Your body will need at least a year to get acclimated to the changes in your body.

I do still get cramps once a month too lol I thought it was just me. But for the past two or three days I have this almost morning sickness feeling. Told my DH about it and he said "better not be" I said honey I dont have a uterus anymore its impossible. But if I get up from a stand position to fast I get dizzy and im nausous until I eat a small snack like crakers. Its really odd.

I had the same thing done, my ovaries are still there. I know this may sound ridiculous, but 6 months is not along time (I found out the hard way) - side effects can last for a really long time. You should always check with your doc when new symptoms appear - I think maybe it could be the ovaries, this is major surgery and your whole body can go wacky. Hope this helps - Faith

I dont have a cervix anymore. I have what is called a vaginal cuff. Basicly the top of the vagina is sewn closed and then held in place buy the ligaments that used to hold the uterus in place.

You continue to get the "period" symptoms because you still have the equipment that causes them, namely the overies.
I think a trip to the doc is in order to get things checked out and hey, let me scare the crap out of you. Just because you do not have a womb anymore does not mean you can't get pregnant. There is at least one documented case where a women had a partial hysterectomy and become pregnant and carried the baby to term. Seems the little bugger floated around until it found a place to attach to the vaginal wall and created it's own womb. Now that should get you moving to the docs, LOL

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
